We cannot recommend Skirling House more highly. We found it via the Eats Scotland Website and were impressed by the reviews on the TripAdvisor website too. We however feel that none have done it complete justice. We stayed in the Gibson Room which was stunningly and lovingly appointed every care had been taken to think of all requirements of guests....

Skirling House is as fabulous as all the previous reviews have mentioned. Our Sat Nav did try to make us drive through a river to get there, but despite that slight technological glitch, there were no other glitches at all. It truly deserves the high rating. The rooms are stunning - ask for the Gibson if possible, it's just amazing.... More

We came upon Skirling House whilst looking for somewhere to stay quite late in the evening. What a little Gem! We literally knocked on the door and asked for a room, we were showed to what can only be described as a luxurious room with everything you could need and more, a bed you could hibernate in, fresh fruit, chocolates,...

We stayed at Skirling House to break our journey to the North of Scotland. We had high expectations when we read the previous reports and these were all met. The house itself is an absolute gem and has been restored and furnished perfectly. There were no jarring notes at all. However, it also managed to be comfortable and welcoming as... More

My brother and I stayed at the Skirling House for three nights. Our room was clean and quite. It was convenient to the study where the computer was available. Breakfast, if anything, was too much and too good. So much to chose from it was hard to decide but certainly meant that you would not get bored. Very casual and... More

we have stayed at Skirling House twice and will certainly return. The House is an Arts and Crafts gem at an easy distance from Edinburgh or Glasgow in beautiful countryside. It feels like home as soon as you step through the door. Bob and Isobel are great and relaxed hosts. The House is full of tasteful art and books. The... More

I've stayed here a number of times now so finally getting around to writing a review. The setting and gardens are beautiful and the house lovingly restored in the Arts and Crafts style I think it is. Bob and Isobel are great hosts and the food is always excellent, the breakfast in particular is about the best I've had anywhere.... More

We have stayed at most of the decent hotels and guest houses in rural Scotland and keep coming back to Skirling. In short, we can't recommend it highly enough. It is only half an hour from Edinburgh, but feels far away from city life. The house is lovely with a homely feel and beautifully appointed rooms, each with a character... More

We stayed here as a present from our parents. We are going to return the favour for their anniversary. The attention to every detail in this hotel is incredible. We have stayed in a good few 5* hotels in Belgium, and they just dont compare. This place is nothing short of absolutely beautiful! Bob and Isobel are the best hosts... More

We were so pleasantly surprised by Skirling House and all the other places we stayed during a tour of the North of England a Scotland seemed dismal after staying here. The amazingly characterful house embellished with wrought iron lizards and filled with lovely things had surprisingly spacious bedrooms with perfectly equipped bathroom en suite. After smelling the delicious odors emanating... More
